I have an old Video Camera, Sanyo VM-RZ2R 8mm camcorder. I can't get the cassette holder to eject. There's no cassette in it at the moment but when I press the eject button, the camcorder turns a couple of little plastic wheels within it but the cassette holder does not eject. I have some old footage of the kids and was hoping to get it copied to digital eventually. Can you help? Thanks.

Your eject problem will be one of three things. 1- the gears for the eject mechanism have shifted and not making contact with each other. You can fix this by realigning the gears. 2- The gears are stripped and need replaced. 3- there is a small plast ...

I have a cannon E330 8mm video camcorder 1993. I can't get i to keep a cassette in it. it just keeps opening back up again.

My video camcorder picture is yellow. It looks like you have put a yellow ilter in front of the lens and the color is so intence that it cannot be filtered back to normal in adobe premiere for example. What has happened? Can a service ajust the RGB balance or is the CCD broken?

My guess is that you were shooting indoors, the light balance is off; Why! can be caused by many varibles; pull out the manual to see if there is a manual ajustment for incondesent light to daylight. Check battery, lens for obstruction, lint can mess ...

I have a Canon HG10 Video Camcorder, however I can't figure out how to transfer the actual video files to the computer to be edited by programs. It is a hard drive camcorder meaning that all the information is on a onboard hard drive on the camcorder itself, the manual tells you how to transfer pictures and how to "back up video files to the computer" but the files are not viewable on the computer and must be "transfered back" to the camcorder to be watched... help.

For editing software Avid Studio, Corel VideoStudio Pro X5, Sony Vegas, etc... all handle AVCHD format video (the .MTS video files from the HG10).Later versions of Windows Media Player now will play this format. Many other players are also a ...

Panasonic SDR-H40 Camcorder.
When I transfer my video file from Panasonic's Video Cam Suite software to my PC (Windows XP) it will not play in Windows Media Player, and in Cyberlink Director Express I can play the video but there is no sound. My earlier videos seem to work fine however. I notice that when I copy the files from the camcorder now, there are now 2 accompanying files ".MTV" and ".MCS" and previously there was an ".MTV" and a ".MTD" accompanying the main MPEG-2 video file.

I unintenisionally captured video on my JVC - GR-HD1U camcorder in "SD mode". I am using Sony Vegas Pro 9 to transfer the video, however, when I attempt to capture the video to my computer I am only able to view and hear video on the camcorder and on on the computer. What do I need to do to make the video show up?

I have the camcorder Sony DCR-TRV25E. Last Friday I was at the ocean and made home video on the beach. I was not close to water, but the breeze blew from the ocean and air was very moist. In the evening I tried to make video again, but the screen of the camcorder (camera on) remained black, though the player in the camcorder works well. My camcorder was in the dry home several days, but it is not working.

With our Canon DC50 camcorder we made a movie of a video presentation on an old MacSE. The movie's images are excellent, but half-inch translucent gray bars repeatedly roll down the screen when we display the DVD movie of the video presentation on a PC or TV. When we made the movie with another camcorder (a Sony Handycam DCR-TRW260) the same problem was encountered, but when we switched off the image stabilizer on that camcorder, the rolling gray bar failed to appear. (The gray bar was replac

Samsung camcorder Hi, I have a samsung video camcorder model VP-D107i which has only been used several times. I needed to use it last week to video my husbands funeral service and after charging the battery the cam wouldn't turn on at all, won't eject the tape, won't do anything, it just ticks like a clock. I have many memories on the mini dv tapes that I can't see without it. Help me please!

Although my question might sound stupid, but did you charge the battery? The camera should be having a li-ion battery, which does not retain its charge for long(a week or so) which gives the battery a longer life.If this is not the proble ...

Can you pls suggest us that where the problem is ?

I have a canon xh g1 camcorder with a timecode jackpack on it. i want to shoot music videos, and i want my camcorders free run timecode to sync to the timecode of a chosen song that has timecode on it with the audio. i want to be able to put my song into a playback device such as a cd player or a dvd player, and when i push play on the song, the timecode syncs my camera so i can have the same timecodes when i capture my video in final cut.

Hello. The XH G1 can receive or send out a SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. This means that you can share time code with an external device (such as a DAT recorder for dual-system sound) or from camera to camera.For "Time Co ...
